Additional information

Zarf in enameled gold. The bowl is entirely openwork and decorated with vine shoots and bunches of grapes. The neck is decorated with green and blue enameled geometric motifs. The zarf features two pink enamel medallions enhanced with floral motifs. The foot repeats the geometric motifs of the neck. This zarf is characteristic of Swiss production for the oriental market of the beginning of the 19th century. In particular, it allowed Turkish notables to put down their coffee cup. Geneva circa 1820-1830
